@@BlueberryShortcake-z1z I find the gameplay rly boring just watching someone live their life mods make their life more exciting think watching an actual life vs watching a film
@@Lilly31913 isn't that how the sims played? if you talk about vanilla of ts2 or ts1 understandable, but i already find it exciting enough, especially ts3
I played with mods for a while, but I got so annoyed with having to update every time there's an update. It sucks, because they enhance gameplay so much. I just wished the Sims-team was as creative as the modders.
Yeah but I use a mod manager that has an "update mods" feature if you downloaded things from curseforge. It definitely lightens the strain of updating mods for me.
I had a thought recently. Sims 4 devs saying “we removed open world and create a style for better performance” is the same as if when Sims 3 was coming out they said “well Sims 2 was crashing on some computers so we decided to go with Sims 1 isometric view”
the camera system would never have been a cause of crashes or performance issues. as fun as they were and as much as i miss them, create a style and open worlds WERE heavy on performance, especially larger open worlds. plus maxis has never been great at optimisation in general. so they're. really not comparable at all.
@@silly6517 that’s obvious, but they are comparable in a sense that they were new innovative features for the series and removing them is a huge step back. Instead of optimizing better, they just abandoned what made sims 3 new and progressive. They had 5 years of time and technological progress to make these systems work but we all know which way they went
Sims 4 would always run better, sims 3 had a problem old games sometimes had that limited the usage of ram the game could ask the computer, there's a mod to kinda fix it, but it cant fix the engine. Sims 3 engine was just amazing for its time, It simulated every sim in the entire city, that's why it lagged, sims 4 engine has nowhere near the capabilities that sims 3 engine had.
Realistic pregnancy mod by Lumpinou goes well with the Childbirth mod by PandaSama. Also the LanguageBarrier mod by Frankk. Adds more realism to those interested in it.
I absolutly love Wicked Whims - I know you made a video about this but stopped as you got embarrassed. It's worth doing again as it makes the relationships so much more real and you can't just pair 2 random sims you like as a couple. Also it's made me rethink about creating generic good looking sims as they aren't always attractive to other sims.
Thank you so much for making this video! I didn’t know these mods exist and it blew my mind how good they look. I only play Sims 4 sporadically, so much less then I used to play Sims 2 and 3, because Sims 4 feels really flat to me and like there isn’t that much to do. A huge round of applause to the people who make mods that are this good and detailed and literally saves the game!
I noticed a similar thing with his "Things pro sims payers do that you don't" videos or whatever they were called. Partway through I had to pause it because I thought "wait you said this is the first video."
I have used mods ever since I got the sims 4. I honestly got so accostumated to them (specially the small fixes ones), that I even forget I have Installed them.
How about actually posting a list of the mods correct (full) names and links on where to get them? I need to google every mod and guess which one is correct, and it seems some are even paid content?
I can’t believe how much time and effort they put into making these mods, i always wonder if it’s someone that works on the sims. They’re just so good!
Its just random people that got tired of the vanilla game that created these mods to make it more interesting and had the decency to share it on the internet, Ea does not support mods they only give u a mods folder and if u run into any problems u gotta figure it out
Great Mods 😊 have you heard of Lumpinou‘s Woohoowellness overhaul? This is actually one of my favs aswell. It brings STD‘s and protection into the game. But also many More things related to pregnancy, dating, divorce etc. … i think like 16 modules you can individually choose. I could not play without these anymore 😅
thanks a lot Satch great video, although I would say one of the WWhims Mods (wonderful or wicked), MC Command Center, & Better Build/Buy Mod are also needed in game since they bring a lot of options and fixes that actually 99% of them were present in Sims 2 & 3, I cant play Sims 4 without these 3 and some of the ones you mentioned! also about CAS Columns I'm on a 1080P monitor and I don't have a single problem in my CAS using 5 columns! it fits the corners sometimez but never clips out of screen or bugs out!
So technically the reality mod is just the new expansion pack "For Rent" that just came out. Since with this new expansion pack you can become a landlord and rent out places.😁
Can I buy just the base game with no add-ons and practically get all the add-ons or versions of them through modding? Not trying to drop 100$+ on sims 4 add-ons when I have a beefy PC to mod with. But then again if I can't mod basic stuff like seasons and some of the other important addons that should have been in the base game with mods then I won't even bother buying and modding the game at all.
3:24, just gonna say to anyone looking at SNB Bills, if you play a lot of different households this may not be for you, as often sims won't have internet/water set up in their households if you're not playing as them, which i think is a little unrealistic.
Wow! 😵 I'm new to mods. I have no idea how to install them or keep updated with them. I'm saving these to install. "I know absolutely nothing about giving birth. I'm gay." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Epidurals?! The Sims 2 CAS is SO NECESSARY!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks to you showing off mods I’ve been dipping my toes into the world of recolors; eventually I’d like to be able to use blender and know how things like specular and alpha layers work
2:46 SNbank can get weird with buy/build mode if you don’t use the in game household bank account. I tried living off of an SNBank debit card and it was, uh, interesting. I could eat but I couldn’t buy a new laptop. Guess I need to build an electronics store…
3:49 lot tax tuning is a cool idea but I wish I could set it per world or per lot. I set it to 22% for evergreen harbor (because Portland tax) and then realized that’s just universal in the mechanics now. Maybe they’ll change that in the future. Not a problem, just something to keep in mind
4:24 speaking of sound effects. If you use SNBank there’s a glitch in the account setup menus where the audio will layer on top of itself and become nonsensical if you click through the menu faster than (what I think the dev) expected. I’ve been meaning to put a bug report in for that one
4:30 Estate agent, not REALTOR. REALTOR is a copyrighted title, almost like a pay-to-get-in club - at least in the US. I’ve seen real estate agents and home salespeople get real bothered when you call them that. I wonder why
9:45 Carl is hands down the best person alive. He fixed that pack. He made it not only work but he made it fun. The new mechanics are a little glitchy sometimes, being the chef isn’t all it’s cracked up to be but it is way better than what EA sold people
I honestly have no idea how the game looks without Meaningful Stories and I also don't want to. That mod is life-changing and if I had to choose one mod to stay in my game, I would easily choose it over MCCC and Cheats UI I also highly recommend whims overhaul and trait overhaul by sims4me
@@CiiStarr He explained in the description why. But tbh the video is already sectioned in parts, so the viewer will skip trough the video regardless so i'm sorry but that's not a really good workaround even if that's the case
These all seem like great mods. I use the SNBank one for my teens who have jobs. One of my favorite mods is by turbodriver, the same person that makes wicked whims mod lol. But this mod is a simulation inclogger, so you know how the game lags a lot or your sims will just stand there for 10 mins and do nothing after you have told them to go do something? Well I can't remember the name of the mod ATM, I'm blanking, but this mod by turbodriver fixes all that annoying stuff.
I'm new to playing sims 4 on the pc/laptop. And I'm nervous on downloading random mods off dodgy websites. what is the best website for sims 4 mods ? please ?
I started my own new savefile so I can try the SimDa app from the beggining of my sim's yound adulthood. I always make her end up with the same sim (that I put also in the savefile in the world), and she ended up going on TWO blind dates with him, which I didn't expect happening 😂 first one was a disaster, second one was great 😂 I love it, 10/10
I found a mod to play like a Regency Romance like in a Jane Austen novel ! But I didn’t try cause I have so many mods and CCs that my game will probably crash lol
It’d be so boring without mods. I wish they updated automatically though, sometimes I want to play sims but the thought of going through all the mods to update them is long
His video doesn't need to be updated, any simmer with a basic knowledge on how to download mods and cc would use common sense and type in the name of the mod on google and download it kmft
I've tried some of those "realism" mods but I've found they really aren't for me as they make the game a bit too much like real life (games are a form of escapism for me). Since I constantly jump between sims and have aging on, I'd never be able to complete modded lifetime aspirations or difficult career requirements. For me, MCCC is by far the best mod of all time. The amount of small annoyances and bugs it fixes are too many to list. It's also a much better alternative to Neighborhood Stories, since you can tune it to make it less chaotic and nonsensical (no more finding the Goths randomly living in a starter home in Sulani or Tartosa). I also use a number of small bug fixes by LittleMsSam for things that EA can't be bothered to fix. Another must-have for me are the world replacement maps by 20th Century Plumbob. I also like to start from a custom save since the EA builds are so drab, especially in the early worlds.
I’m sure a lot of people don’t like modding their game, you’re def not alone! I found I had to start doing it because the vanilla game even with all DLC gets real boring real fast. Mods help keep the game fresh.
I hope you can help me please i have had issue with my game for about 3 weeks now. and during that time i have had to delete a lot of mods from curse-forge that i downloaded and now my mods file is gone is there a way to get that file back thanks
This game would be so unpolished without mods. I can't play without so many gameplay & fixer mods.
Are therr any in particular you love and reccomend that wasnt listed in the video? Im super new to mods and cc :)

theres a non-sexual version called Wonderful Whims! he'd probably be more comfortable with that one

Welcome to the PC world
for small fix mods "stand still in CAS" is a must. The move so much and it drives me NUTS
"Posted 50 seconds ago" - never managed to get in this fast. I need some new mods thanks Satch
Not even finished the video, added three mods. Thanks!
this is such a good list honestly, i use all of them apart of the birth and i don't think i would play without them.
I recently got back to playing Sims 4, The pc version this time.
Console player previously. Will be looking forward to you channel.
So technically the reality mod is just the new expansion pack "For Rent" that just came out. Since with this new expansion pack you can become a landlord and rent out places.😁
It was out long before For rent and either way that mod gives u a lot more gameplay
Wicked Whims is the best 😂❤
Until you go to a community lot a random townies keep doing it in the bathroom 😂😂😂😂
Why do I have almost all of these mods already??? Love this!!!

The sims 2 cas background though 🥹🥹!!
Great video. Thanks for working so hard to save this damn game.
you should play about with the small mods (bed cuddle) and (pillow talk) i have a feeling youll enjoy those small little tweaks to the game :)
Lovely love your videos :) Keep it going
As if my Sims 4 Mods folder wasn’t big enough. (Crazy how mods change the game so.)
How have i never heard of that Career Overhaul mod?! This is what i was missing from my gameplay!
These were great recommendations. I'm trying out the aspirations and real estate mods!!!
I thought papi Satch would mention the wicked whims mod

It obviously seriously required Discover university if u need a degree to Get a promotion, without that expansion pack the mod is just plain
i hate being ghosted
